Description
Welcome to 1274 Aspen Drive, a custom-built Santa Fe-style adobe home offering sweeping alpine views and energy efficiency on a private, forested 8.68-acre lot set high above the main access road in Elk Meadows. Classic New Mexico adobe brick construction lends a warm, pleasing ambiance while providing natural thermal mass keeping the home cool in summer and warm through winter. With two bedrooms, a loft, an open kitchen with breakfast bar, a passive solar sunroom, and a spacious open living and dining area, this charming home offers flexible options for a variety of lifestyles. The 2-car garage is currently configured with an office/flex space. Additional features include: a curved-wall floor plan with arched doorways; Saltillo tile floors with original patterns throughout the main level; custom oak interior doors and cabinetry; hand-troweled plaster walls; colorful Mexican tile countertops; two large wood-burning kiva fireplaces; partial furnishings of quality furniture and unique Southwestern artwork; open-beam ceilings with pine detailing in the living room; peeled-log vigas and pine ceilings; a deck off the primary suite with sweeping views; sun-tracking solar panels; and in-floor radiant heat. Spend your evenings on the deck or rooftop watching herds of elk pass by and the alpenglow light up the sunset, or gather with family around the courtyard's outdoor fireplace. All of this just minutes away from Miller Mesa Trail, Top of the Pines & National Forest. This is one distinctive property worth a look.
